Here’s the latest news from the folks managing the Hamilton International Middle School remodel. The aerial shot to the left was taken on December 24.

As of the end of December 2009, the skylight has been installed in the east historic gym and finish work is underway on the 3rd and 2nd floor of the historic building, including final drywall, paint, ceiling tiles, wood trim and ceramic tile. Steel frame installation for the grand stairs at the commons has begun, and other interior stair structural work is nearing completion. The exterior masonry is nearing completion with interior masonry work fully complete. On the west side of the playground, the terrace walls are in place and backfilled. Sidewalks are underway at the south side of the site.

In January, the grand staircase and stair towers will be completed and finish work will continue on the 3rd and 2nd floors. Drywall will be installed on the first floor and final framing will be completed at the commons.
